• A solid background in a Cisco-based infrastructure or NSX: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.1].

This comprehensive, fast-paced training course focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware NSX™. This course covers NSX as a part of the software-defined data center platform, implementation use cases along with features of NSX, and functionality operating at Layer 2 through Layer 7 of the OSI
model.

Data center network architectures are examined to demonstrate how NSX intersects with and virtualizes functions of a Ciscobased infrastructure in  spine-leaf and traditional core-aggregateaccess architectures. Lecture and hands-on lab activities support the student’s understanding of NSX features, functionality, and on-going management and control.
